Cassyette has spoken to NME about what went into her debut album ‘This World Fucking Sucks’, the challenges of life on the road, and what her next record could look like.The Brighton-based artist born Cassy Brooking – who originally hails from Essex – exploded onto the alternative scene with her breakout hit ‘Dear Goth’ in 2021, going on to blend nu-metal, emo and pop soundscapes together with soaring chorus hooks and brute heaviness.Having toured with Bring Me The Horizon and Bryan Adams earlier this year, ‘This World Fucking Sucks’ arrived amidst some considerable momentum for Cassyette.“It legitimises what you’re doing, getting to meet the [fans] who are listening to it”, she told NME, reflecting on her recent run of in-store shows and signings. “Music is such a connecting mechanism for people’s emotions.”“One of the main through lines on the album was grief – I lost my dad at the beginning of the pandemic”, she continued.
